Starry Night Nails

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! Today I have a super cute nail art design for back to school, or for any occasion! These are mostly for the Pretty Woman's 'Back to School' launch they will be having on all of their social media, Monday August 25th. When thinking of design to do I truly didn't want to do the typical "back to school" nail art design. Let's face it... it's a little cliche.

Back to school is not about pencils and rulers, everyone has their own unique style. So I wanted to do something different. Yesterday I swatched two amazing polishes from Pretty Women nail lacquer (reviews here). While thinking if a design, I guess you can say, the polish shade was a sort of inspiration.

I completely loved this shade, and the way it shifts from blue to purple. Reminding me of the night sky. I originally wanted to do a galaxy design, but I opted to do something more simple. So reaching for the stars came to mind ( I know soo corny), but what a better way to represent the students ambition by reaching their goal, and of-course wearing a cute design. ;D

For the base, I began by applying two coats of Bettina Onix. Once the polish is completely dry, I add three stripping tapes alining them in different directions.I then applied at least one coat of Pretty Woman Stingray Chrome(my review and swatches here).

After I carefully removed the stripping tape, I then added a sliver star stud (which you can purchase from Born Pretty Store) below the cuticle. Lastly, I sealed the designwith H K Girl Top Coat. Overall, I loved how these came out. I can't help to think I would have to remove these soon! :(

Pretty Woman will be having a Back School launch on all of their social medias. Tons of postings and awesome giveaways on every hour. Head over and follow them for a chance to win some incredible prizes, also join me while I take over their twitter (12pm-2pm)!:
